Abstract

Nucleophilic addition to but-1-en-3-one by the acyl anion equivalent of 2-formylpyrroles, generated by reaction with thiazolium salts, yields 1-(2-pyrrolyl) pent-1, 4-diones, which undergo the Paal-Knorr reaction with ammonia and primary amines to give the 2, 2'- bipyrroles. Alternatively, the 2, 2'-bipyrrole system can be obtained by pyrolysis of 2-azido-5- (2-pyrrolyl) penta-2, 4-dienoic esters.
